Founded and directed by Vincent Sator to promote up-and-coming contemporary French and international artists, Galerie Sator opened its doors in the Marais in Paris in 2011.

With a Master degree in Political Science and a Master degree in Art History, Vincent Sator has worked in France and Hong Kong for public institutions such as the European Commission, the French Ministry of Culture, the Centre Georges Pompidou, the Musée du Louvre or the Hong Kong University Museum. Initiated to the art market by Marc Blondeau in Geneva, Switzerland, he founded his rst gallery in Paris with American partners. Focused on Russian contemporary art focus, it opened from 2007 to 2010.

Vincent Sator is relying on his knowledge of art history and his experience of international museum and cultural institutions to build his gallery. Connections to history and art history, politics and society are among the themes and the directions defended by the gallery, along with a questioning of the contemporary relationto images.

Since its opening, in addition to taking part in an increasing number of fairs (Drawing Now, Loop, Galeristes, Asia Now, Paris Photo...), Galerie Sator has also endeavored to foster exchanges and discoveries by organizing cutting-edge cultural events in its venue (contemporary poetry readings, performance art, experimental music concerts...). The gallery opened a bookshop offering artist’s books, catalogues and art magazines in order to pursue this policy. In October 2015, Galerie Sator was pleased to announce the creation of the Éditions Sator.
